Numerous factors can lead to the refusal or rejection of a spouse visa application. The UK Home Office, specifically UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), rigorously examines such applications to prevent fraudulent activities like ‘sham’ marriages or ‘marriages of convenience’. While a denied application typically doesn’t entail a refund, there’s often the option to appeal the decision and potentially reverse the initial outcome. Whether you initiated the application independently or with the help of a third-party immigration consultant, we stand ready to support you through the appeals process.
